7 minutes is too long

So I created an animated movie short that's a little over 7 minutes long in Windows Movie Maker 2.6. And it's taking forever to save. Or is it even doing anything? I checked Task Manager and it appears to be doing something since it's taking a little over 30% of my CPU, but all it has to show for itself is a 13.2k .wmv file that's 0:00:00 long. It's been doing this for the past 5 minutes. I cancelled it and retried it and it just sits there not seeming to do anything. It says "Estimating Time Remaining." with the status bar being at 0%. Makes one wonder how Pixar does it.
Anyway, I have been making a Halloween cartoon. It was originally supposed to be finished last Halloween, but I forgot about it. So I put in the last 2 minutes and TRIED TO put it together into a 7 minute long .wmv file, but it seems like it doesn't want to cooperate. I guess I'll leave it be and check back in an hour to see if anything has changed. I need to keep Windows Media Player going or else the computer will shut down after 10 minutes and I have to unplug it and plug it back in and press power for it to come back. Stupid computer. All I want it to do is to make my movie in .wmv format. Is it really that hard?
